John Doe, Don Bonebrake, Billy Zoom and Exene Cervenka of legendary punk group X, seen in a 1982 photo, were honored Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2017, by the city of Los Angeles, which officially declared it to be X Day in the city, which has been celebrated by the band in its signature song, “Los Angeles.” Doe and Cervenka will perform an acoustic show in San Pedro Nov. 4.

Punk pioneers Exene Cervenka and John Doe of X will join Mike Watt & The Secondmen and Feels for a benefit concert in San Pedro this weekend.

The Nov. 4 show will take place at Brouwerij West brewery, 110 E 22nd St., Warehouse No. 9, at 6 p.m.

The concert benefits the Palos Verdes Art Center and happens in conjunction with a new exhibit at the Center called “Exene Cervenka: Lipstick Sunset,” which is made up of recent collage art by the singer and artist.

Cervenka and Doe, who formed the seminal punk band in Los Angeles 40 years ago, will perform an acoustic set at the brewery.

They’ll be joined by Watt, a San Pedro native and one of the co-founders of early punk band Minutemen. Also on the bill is Los Angeles born punk grunge band Feels.
